Merry Christmas!

It has been wild and crazy and wonderful to be with family for Christmas. Denny's two daughters, Courtney and Kelly, and spouses arrived on the 23rd. Courtney brought their new puppy, a golden Lab. He is so sweet! Marcia, my sister-in-law, has created a South Carolina Christmas for us. So she served a Moravian Chicken pie for dinner.

Xmas eve was busy going to parties and church. We attended one party at a friend's home and another at Marcia's mom's home. My mom, Marcia and I attended a Xmas eve service at the Moravian Church called a Lovefeast. They serve coffee and rolls, sing carols and read scripture, all centered around Agape love which is love of Christ shared in fellowship with others.

Xmas day started with a late breakfast of Moravian sugar cake and quiches. We then spent about two hours opening gifts. After lunch some went bike riding, John and I took a long walk and others napped. Marcia prepared a great turkey and brisket dinner and then we played cards while waiting for Denny's son to arrive from Baltimore. Matt and Leslie have three children and a huge dog. John and I were NOT part of the welcoming committee as we were sound asleep in the RV when they got in about 1:30AM.
